Nirvana's Children Book

His dad named him Napoleon, hoping he'd conquer the world — or something. Though his world has been a disappointing place. After fifteen years, Napoleon busts out and takes to the streets. He's hoping to find something real, something unspoiled by adults. But the streets are just aching to eat him alive, and Luna Park won't stop laughing in his face.

He orbits a gang leader who wants to start Armageddon downtown. He falls hard for Sammie, an astro-chick always en route to the moon. Mr. Bones, with his scythe and hood, taunts him at every corner, and the only way Napoleon can survive is to stay sane in this world gone mad. The trouble is, what happens if it's all the reverse?
